I think the point the Sherrif was making was these deals are crazy and they are going to have implications Leauge wide not just in Redskins Park.
I actually think we may come out on top this year because we are not making the various moves we usually make and it actually fits the recent Redskins splurge and save cycle which seems to have hit the save point at the right time.
Interestingly no one of note has yet been cut, Wynn, Daniels, Hall, Patten etc until we actually need the cap space or untill they are beaten out of thier roster roll.
It was a blow to loose Derrick and I certianly do not wish him ill will for leaving i think everyone would have under the circumstances but it has more to do with the fact the Skins FO valued him approximatly 25% of the value the Bills did. Who was right we will have to find out.

I must admit, the view from this side of the free agent fence looks a whole lot better. And it will have an impact in the locker room, it already has in fact. The Bills sacrificed two of their top defensive players in order to sign Dock to that deal. I'd say the Bills didn't get value, especially considering last year the Vikings got the best guard in football for $49 million. Maybe being paid like an All Pro will bring out the best in Dock, but then again that pay now for performance later has mixed results here in DC...
